Value Collection 102-700-030 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-700-030 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning systems. Built with a synthetic pleated media and a double-wall moisture-resistant beverage board frame, this filter delivers 35 to 45 percent particle capture efficiency at airflows up to 2,170 CFM. The nominal size is 20 x 25 x 3-3/4 inches, with actual dimensions of 24-1/2 x 19-1/2 x 3-3/4 inches. It carries an initial resistance of 0.25 inches water gauge and a final resistance of 1 inch water gauge, making it a balanced choice between airflow and filtration performance. HVAC technicians and service professionals install this filter as a standard replacement in forced-air systems.

This filter is suited for use with heating and air conditioning units in residential and light commercial applications. The pleated synthetic media increases surface area compared to fiberglass panel filters, supporting better particulate capture without excessive static pressure drop. It fits standard filter slots calling for a 20 x 25 x 3-3/4 inch nominal size and is appropriate for routine maintenance cycles in ducted forced-air systems. Single-unit packaging makes it practical for service calls requiring a single replacement.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the old filter. Confirm airflow direction markings on the filter frame align with the system airflow arrow before seating the filter. Inspect the filter housing for air bypass gaps and seal as needed to maintain rated efficiency.
